We Restored the Lotec C1000 in 90 Days! 2024 Pebble Beach Concours

[@WeAreCurated]

Still a lot of questions around the LOTEC C1000, so we'll be putting together an in-depth video in the future! It'll go down as one of the greatest cars to pass through CURATED's doors, and we're happy to be able to share this victory with you all! 🙌

[@yugotime1598]

Have you gotten ahold of the original builder yet?! He still has everything pertaining to the build and a wealth of knowledge. His company is still making race cars.

[@WeAreCurated]

Yes! We've spoken with him several times

[@brdllc]

So excited to see that, information is sparse and it’s one of the greatest looking supercars from the golden era imo. Hopefully be watching it sooner than later

[@flandernfields2478]

Massive congrats to you guys !! I visited your showroom a couple of days ago and got to talk to a view people and experience the everyday work at Curated, and you can actually feel the energy and passion in the room. I got to talk to John for a minute as well, and he’s just no different to the videos, super humble and funny. Curated is a great channel, company and people. Keep up the amazing work! 🙏🏼

flexing on the clk gtr like a boss.

[@WeAreCurated]

next week's video may or may not be a CLK GTR...roadster

[@breakupgoogle]

@@WeAreCurated cant wait for the glamor shots. yall always bring the fire

[@edwardclark8808]

Yes, the HWA CLK GTR roadster is one bad ass ride. I believe the Engine specs are 7.3 V12 AMG. The video on this is going to be good.

[@tonyroberts7481]

That’s a beautiful build/ restoration. Congrats on all the praise you guys you are receiving.

[@evanspotscars]

Loved seeing this car at concours

[@WeAreCurated]

Glad you enjoyed it! It's stunning up close

[@Thecarwatchman]

It’s amazing to see how far curated has come! I’ve been going over to the showroom for the last 7 years and their cars get wilder and wilder.. but the best thing of the curated is the Team, coolest people ever and it’s really refreshing to see people passionate about what they do

[@caseylevins32]

The Underdog? Yeah, totally, we all remember our own father's Lamborghini Miura.

[@shinaito]

Yeah lol kinda sus. Should at least just say hard work and the grind. I don’t think 99% of dads have a muria or a F40

[@rickyrichard2143]

This comment literally made me laugh out loud at 3am 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@edwardestrella3872]

John Temerian, you are an extremely humble young Sir, you began CURATED with only a dream and look at how far you have come, I'm extremely impressed by what you do and all that you have accomplished for this exclusive type of automotive hobby...thank you for bringing awareness and for sharing all of your knowledge about the Countach and other exotics that I truly wasn't aware of how few examples were made. You and your amazing crew bring a wealth of knowledge to the table...plus I love your amazing CURATED videos, even if many of us can't afford such beautiful rolling sculptures, we can seriously appreciate them, thank you for letting us live vicariously through you John, you rock my friend, God bless!!!

[@davids8493]

How am I the first to give this impressive comment a like? Kudos to you sir!

[@Cbm10]

I have said before in your comment section and I say it again. THIS IS BY FAR THE BEST CHANNEL ON YOU TUBE IF YOU ARE A TRUE CAR ENTHUSIAST. Thats my humble opinion. Thank you Curated

[@davids8493]

How has this comment not received 1k likes? At least. It is free to do so.

[@Thatguy55595]

Congrats on 100K my brother. Been here since 2016! Love you John

[@johnsonrepp]

Success does not come easy and you showed that. You and your team earned every bit of your current success. Literally the underdog story of the 2020’s.

[@WeAreCurated]

Thank you for the kind words!

[@davids8493]

11:30 John, your commitment to your team is unrivaled. Calling out thier names individually speaks to the volume of your passion that screams out what your company provides. Passion. I wish that I could be a part of this superior group of insanely passionate team members. Another fantastic video, as usual. Thank you sir and your team. 👏👏👏👏

Your dad's business truly is the American dream small shop hard work smart business decisions and most of all a passion and pride in all you do.

[@pope400]

I spent a lot of time with the C1000 in North Carolina. So cool to see this thing getting the attention it deserves!

[@GTcruzin]

You need to get your hands on the FORD GT90 and rebuild that concept. Gosh it’s American history and it’s just sitting in a museum in Missouri, barely running

[@javierbaca5300]

thats the first model car I ever built , I was really sad upon learning there is only one. I spent many years waiting for ford to release it. it was unconventional looking but I bet it looks like a bedazzeling in real life.

[@Pockr001]

It doesn’t need to be rebuilt. The car hardly has any miles on it.

[@tnhn1903]

Is the Petersen Museum in Missouri?

[@briankearn6991]

That car is in good hands. It gets displayed regularly. Since it’s a concept car it can’t be driven much.

[@kevmagill5163]

So amazing! Congratulations to your entire team of dreamers. Looking forward to all your adventures coming in your brilliant future!

[@UKBUILT]

😎👍

[@MRVSKIN]

I absolutely love these stories. Amazing videos

[@mikeritchie492]

Such a cool car looks like nothing else congratulations. I absolutely love the channel and what you guys do to keep these cars around for generations to come and enjoy is simply awesome.

[@WeAreCurated]

Thanks for the kind words and support Mike!

[@eatattheafter]

What you've put together at Curated is incredible, John & co. Great work on this car and congrats on 10 years!

[@jongib6096]

Great job JT & Team! That’s some Top tier, rare, beautiful cars 👌🏼

[@WeAreCurated]

Thank you so much Jon!

[@lutach]

If I remember correctly, I saw a Lotec C1000 over 20yrs in a dealership called Domani Motors located in Deerfield Beach, FL. I drove by one day and stopped at the light, looked inside and I couldn't believe it, a car I read about and thought I would never see one up close and it was in there looking amazing. I think I still have the article from the magazine I saw it in.

[@ethanhaynes777]

Was at carweek and it was mental to see the cars Curated brought. Bravo.

[@lithium444]

It was great seeing the C1000 at the Concours as well as the F50 at the Quail, I can't wait to see what goes to Monterey next year

[@RichardMichaelOwen]

Curated; the passion is real. Well done.

[@SnOwLzZ]

God Bless you John! What a great video!!!!!

[@Spherz]

So surreal to see such a thoroughbred machine still running under its own power after all these years😎👍

[@lapizzzm]

Love the channel! Keep going🙌

[@dfsq]

Love the content. Congrats. Loved also to see in person the se30 jota that’s was amazinggggggg ( as an eu it’s crazy )

Love seeing this stuff! Vlog style behind the scenes

[@ModelcarNick]

CLK GTR! Absolutely next level, huge congrats John

[@benzinapaul7416]

Great video as always. Love parts spotting the slightly modified Alfa 164 rear lights on the Lotec

[@WeAreCurated]

haha yes! good find

[@vladansretenovic1952]

Your videos are great, always a back story with detective kind of plot. Keep up with this great content!

[@jimc9222]

Wonderful story with an incredible ending, congratulations. My favorite channel never disappoints….

[@johanboes1]

I am always very moved seeing your videos, one time i hope to visit curated. Kind regards from Belgium

[@jasonbecker3319]

You are in a GTR starting this vid... Fa-hhllexxx! Lotec was a baller... To the staff; well done. A new era of conservation, documentation, and conservation in our love in things automobili~

John, That Lotec is Phenomenal!!!

[@WeAreCurated]

Thank you Larry!

[@dirtydanoverland9083]

Congrats Curated!!!

[@paulgottlieb9712]

WOW… 😮 Just wow. The quality and significance of the cars you always get your hands on are absolutely incredibly mind blowing. Thank you for sharing these magnificent machines with everyone. You’ve got the hardest job in the world. Because I don’t know how you don’t keep them all.

[@WeAreCurated]

Hahaha if only I could keep them all! We'll be putting together a full deep dive on the Lotec so stay tuned for that

[@miguelmc2289]

16:29 Genuinely laughed with the memes

[@ImARealHumanPerson]

I love that brilliant silver metallic automotive chair you're sitting in during the beginning of the video. I'd love one for myself but they're incredibly hard to find and way out of my budget. 😅

[@WeAreCurated]

Forget Scandinavian furniture! 🤣

[@samlowry9276]

wow. truly epic. i remember this car coming out when i was a kid.

[@iamrobbieb]

This car is amazing but you guys are the best for putting the new Merc right in the front. Never thought I’d see one in person 🙏🙏🙏

[@Pereira111]

You guys are the pinnacle of collectible cars

[@usaauto76]

Great video monterey was great this year be safe out there

[@szuman3000]

How did Kurt Lotterschmid respond to your work and such an incredible success in reviving his greatest work? Was there any response from Lotec?

[@GARAGESZERO]

put it in reverse terry!

[@WeAreCurated]

Back it up!

[@luffy858]

I need to conduct all future interviews and group meetings while sitting on the sill of a $12m CLK GTR roadster, creates a nice ambience.

[@WeAreCurated]

😂😂😂

[@Gregsheppo66]

It wasnt that long ago that whenever I saw very rare & mega expensive cars it was always older guys owning/buying/selling/etc them. It really awesome seeing a white show event like Quail, etc with young blokes that now just buy & sell them but are absolute historians on these incredible cars. 🚗

[@scottjacobsen2889]

What an incredible world to be a part of.

[@zethloveless7238]

Been following this car since I was a kid 😅. Nice to see she’s taken care of. Last I saw her she was for sale.

[@GTcruzin]

Hershel you did it bud! Lol

[@chrisa926]

I live like 30km away from the Lotec workshop and remember the car back in the days when it came out. I was fully blown away by the look and stats. It you see where Lotec as a company was and where it is now it‘s just sad…

[@chrisa926]

btw what happend to the Sirius?

[@lockedoutofaccount]

Saw it at you at your show room about a year ago was very cool meeting you.

[@clippzzorito1420]

Underdogs? I'd love to have the and opportunities you underdogs have.

[@JoeSmith18373]

Nobody John: starts off video interview while sitting on the side of a CLK GTR roadster

[@lamborghiniregistry]

The low, high speed wing on that Murcielago SV was good for an additional 3 mph over the big wing which should have made it more desirable but, go figure, people opted for the big, show off, high downforce wing which made it slower! Today the rarity should also make it more desirable. There's no accounting for taste!

[@V12Smooth84]

Incredible

[@hardcoreep]

Congrats.

[@tomsanders6871]

Congrats for this amazing achievement 🤩. Ah those f**king 90' sports car clutches😅

bravo 👏👏👏

[@WeAreCurated]

Thank you!

[@maxxedredlineproductions]

I really wish they had enough interest in making the new Lotus Sirius, the renders were cool. I think y'all should test if the top speed claim is anywhere close to where they claimed!

[@LTV_inc]

Yes you did. You guys are living a dream, don’t blink..

[@jaredfaroukiart]

this is the most badass intro, sitting in a CLK GTR Roadster, damn!

[@jaredfaroukiart]

Holy shit thought it was just the intro, dude spent the whole time telling a story using the 2nd American CLK GTR Roadster as a damn seat. That is how you do things

[@roberthelm87]

Makes me homesick

[@AussieBassplayer]

Would love to see this thing run at speed

[@Destroyer-Grizzly-BIH]

Reminds me of something from Demolition Man or Freejack.

[@rousemotorsport]

Congrats to Curated. Still don’t understand the choice of Pebble Beach best in show. People spend millions to get cars perfect, and they chose a unrestored car with cracking paint that was not very elegant.

[@megu2272]

16:18 If it gives him any comfort I probably would have done the same in that situation

Imagine some goober shanks a ball into one of these cars lololol

[@thewatersavior]

LMAO Hershel Knew!

[@Pockr001]

Why is he drilling into the carbon fiber at 9:40? Easy to misplace screws when taking something that far apart and having to rush. I’m sure it does run better now though
